Taking A Look At The Biggest Scottish Football Teams For 2022

The history of football in Scotland dates back 300 years, making it one of the "Home Nations" of the sport. Since 1890, clubs in Scotland have been competing for the title of National Champion in the Scottish Cup, which is the second-oldest cup competition in the world.

Several national teams include dominant superstars who rule their respective leagues. Two of these giants are well-known in Scotland, and their fierce, all-consuming rivalry is called the "Old Firm." It has never stopped being a problem, and it completely obscures the Premiership. In the end, both clubs amass enormous amounts of Success Points, leaving the remaining clubs with only crumbs. These two clubs are the only ones to crack the "Big 100+," although they share nearly 1,100 Success points.

The Premiership did well after World War II, but it was just unable to compete with the amount of money that its neighboring Premier League in England was able to bring in. As a direct consequence of this, 21st-century Scottish football is regarded as one of the worst in the world. UEFA Coefficient clubs that finish in leagues 6-10 receive a point deduction for each domestic trophy they win. As of the year 2022, the SP is ranked ninth in the Coefficient.

Most Popular Teams In Scotland


Rangers FC

Rangers Football Club was established way back in the year 1872. Before the inaugural National Championship was held in 1890, Scottish football was only played at the national level for the Scottish Cup during those first 19 years before it won its first major trophy. This was an unusual period when Scottish football was independent of the vice-like grip that the Old Firm had on the sport. In 1891, Rangers would emerge victorious in the second competition.

Rangers has a lot of shiny metal trophies, like it's Glasgow rival Celtic. One of these is a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (CWC) from 1972. Rangers have won at least 50% of the titles in 4 of the 13 decades that the Scottish Championships have been held, and a total of 42% of the titles since the 1890s.

After the 'The Gers' most recent League/LC double in 2011, something unimaginable happened: the team went bankrupt because of bad financial management and came back in the fourth tier of Scottish soccer. They were away for 5 seasons, only to come back and win 55 Titles in 2021.

The most successful club in Scotland and the second most successful club in all of Europe is Rangers Football Club!

Celtic FC

A Catholic priest in Glasgow started this club to help raise money for the city's poor. Five years later, they would go on to win their very first game, a 5-2 victory over the Rangers in what was at the time referred to as a "friendly meeting."

Only a few clubs can surpass the lofty 500 Success Point milestone. To accomplish this goal, Celtic FC have been practically nonstop in their pursuit of silverware. This includes capturing more than a quarter of all Scottish Cups during their history. They have been champions in every decade except the 1940s. In the 1950s, Celtic struggled while other clubs like Hibernian FC did well. The same was true in the 1990s when it became clear that Celtic's board members had not kept up with the rise of commercial revenue streams in football across Europe.
